Excellent Ski in the Longer Length

By Ranked #69 - Alpine Fat Skis August 23, 2010

My Stats
135lbs
5'9''
Expert Skier (competing in a freeride comp)

177cm
felt the Blog did exactly what I wanted to, but the softer, more forgiving flex along with rocker did cause some instability. However, some of that was due to the length. This ski is ridiculously poppy, and skis like a more versatile Bent Chetler. Overall I was quite impressed.

185cm
The 183 is much better than the 177 Blog. I found the longer length had all of the pop of the shorter ski (a ton), but felt much more stable. This is much more versatile, and fun. It's not really a big mountain ski, but a strong contender for my favorite ski of the test.
